The Rich Always Win

Posted: 08 Apr 2011 03:37 AM PDT

It always amazes me how many people think that politicians are looking out for the little or lower class guy.

It’s truly amazing marketing.

Here is the deal. You want to not get screwed in life? Make money and lots of it.

The more money I make the less I pay in taxes, the more freebie items I get, the less meals I pay for, and just an entirely better quality of life.

When I first started in this business and would goto events I would pay 1-2k for a ticket.. airfare, hotels, drinks meals, by the time you add it all up probably 3-4k in total expenses.

I can’t remember the last conference where I had to pay my own airfare, hotel, drinks, or dinner. And the more successful we become the more breaks we get.

I will be the first to admit I tripped over a rock and fell face first into making money on the internet.

Maybe thats why I feel like I can talk so frank about it.

The lower and middle class are programed from a early age to work their asses off making someone else rich 9-5 every day.

The lower to middle class get sold on the dream that they can get rich over night by buying a lottery ticket for $1. But the fact is 80% of those that do win end up way worse off then before they started.

The lower to middle class get payday loans paying usually whatever maximum interest rate the state maximum allows. This can be as much as 40%.

The lower to middle class are the largest consumers of cigarettes. The only reason they are legal is because the tabacco lobby puts an enourmous amount of money into politicians hands… these same guys that are put into office to protect you.

The only interest politicians have is power and money and that means making sure the rich always win at whatever cost to our country.

This post was inspired because while in Salt Lake City we had a little meetup and 2 seperate people told me their stories on how I woke them up and they started making money on the internet. It wasn’t specifically something I walked them through but more just that it can happen with time and work.

I wish I could wake up more people.
